This Darling Little Book
Arriving home
I’m all alone
And feeling rather low
For as I open up my door
Feelings of loneliness
Permeate my soul
All around me this and that
Though I don’t take it in
But wait now
what on earth is that
Upon my ‘Welcome’ mat
A package from abroad
Sent from you
To me with love
All negativity gone
As I open up your package
My soul begins to sing a song
For inside there is love
Wrapped up inside a book
I open it so gently
As I take the longest look
At such exquisite images
Borne from your artistes eye
And as I read the words
From your poetic quill
Turning each page slowly
Gives me a wondrous thrill
This darling little book
From my newly found soul sister
Even though we’ve never met
I feel
that I
already know her
Was it from another life
Or on another planet
Did you have a different name
As angels sing
we meet again...
